Movies and Mental Health

It is the time of lockdown and we all are in our homes getting bored. Apart from working from home and having fun with family watching movies can also be a form of therapy. Escaping from our own problems in life for a short period of time, there are many benefits of watching movies. In fact it has a name -"Cinema Therapy".

"Cinema therapy can act as a powerful catalyst for healing and growth of anybody who is keen to know how movies affect the life of a person and to watching certain movies with conscious awareness."

Cinema therapy is somehow a real thing and is often prescribed by therapists. Being aware of the benefits and good side of  the movies can change the way we think,what we feel and ultimately one can deal with the ups and downs and make watching movies invaluable.
The idea of which movie should be watched should come from the current situations which are going on in the life.
For example- If your love one is struggling through addiction you might watch "Clean and Sober" or
"When a man loves a women".

There are some ways how watching movies that mirror our own struggles and experiences help us-

• Watching movies uplift emotional release and it is quite helpful even for those who have trouble expressing their feelings and emotions might find themselves laughing or crying during a movie. This release of feelings may have a carthatic effect and it also makes easier for a person to express their emotions.
• Sometimes watching movies help us makes sense of our own lives. From thousand of years knowledge and experiences have been passed down through the art of story-telling. Stories gives us some different  perspectives and help us understand and make sense of the customs of the world. And movies are stories.
• Sad movies can also make someone happy. It may be like counter-intutive, i think many of us can relate to this.When we see a sad film,some of us feel thankful to our own life and smaller problems in comparison.

Going out for movies in theatre is not possible everytime due to our schedules or there can  be some other reasons so we sometimes prefer to watch movies at home and the good news is that it doesn't matter whether you are watching movie at home or in a crowded theatre the results are same.
